One Show - Alex Jones is back

Well, it won't be a real one.

I am absolutely sure it was real- I know how to tell the difference.

No, it won't be.

You are right Calistemon; of course it won’t be!
You can only tell by burning the real / faux fur or by blowing on it.

Ms Jones was quoted in The Mirror yesterday claiming that becoming vegan helped her to get pregnant.
So it being real fur looks even more unlikely

1. It won’t have been real.
2. You can tell, Kali2 ? Really? At a distance? Under studio lights?
People especially of her generation and in the public eye would no way appear on prime time TV in real fur even if there were still a geriatric dowager somewhere in the Shires with a mink in the wardrobe

Why bother wearing fake fur?

Why do vegans eat fake sausages, burgers or whatever?

If you don’t agree with something, avoid anything that mimics it, surely.

That reminds me, I think Alex is or was vegan so she wouldn't wear real fur.

The introduction ‘music’ puts me off so I-never watch it! I turn off as soon as that trumpet blares! ?

As your so convinced that the fur is real I suggest you contact the company who make the coat ( Charlotte Baillieu) and challenge their statement that it is faux fur
Maybe you might believe them.

I didn't watch the show (I was at dog school) but is this it by Charlotte Baillieu? It definitely says faux fur as all her parka hoods are.
If you are an aspiring designer why would you go against the anti fur movement led by the likes of Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent?

Some time ago I read about real fur being passed-off a faux - just found this article and it makes for interesting if alarming reading.

What is faux fur, then? Faux fur is made of synthetic fibers designed to mimic the look and feel of real fur. It’s a response to the demand for cruelty-free fur.

However, another way of satisfying the demand for fake fur is much more cynical – but alarmingly widespread. For years now, all over the world, clothing retailers have repeatedly been caught selling real fur as fake fur. So your faux fur might actually be real fur after all.

I'd be surprised if a BBC presenter knowingly wore fur on screen.

If you don’t agree with something, avoid anything that mimics it, surely.

A sausage (cylinder) and a burger (patty) are just shapes or forms or whatever.
Convenient shapes to form food stuff into and easy to eat.
You can hardly expect vegetarians to reinvent the wheel, as it were, and eat food formed into pyramids, cuboids or five pointed stars.

Which reminds me - those horrible little teddy bear shapes made out of ham. Bleurgh

What tells you that it is real?

That is for Kali.

I love a Welsh accent, so I'm pleased that she's back.

Looks like it
I once sent an Internet ordered Joules coat with a (faux) fur trimmed hood back because it looked just too realistic - as if I was wearing next door’s moggy!

So is this a fake-fur-news thread then?

Why bother wearing fake fur?
Perhaps because it's cosy and warm?

So is this a fake-fur-news thread then?

Absolutely!
My latest self indulgence - if only it would stop raining!

Clearly you don't!

That looks cosy. Nice.

I just came on to say the same as Gingster.
That blaring music is just awful!

Aha, maybe the fox hunting horn and the One Show trumpet (?) music are in collusion.

Is it a trumpet?
It sounds like a load of screaming people shrieking "Oooone!!!!!", trumpeting elephants, and cats caterwauling.
I have to rush to switch off before they reach the crescendo...
I swear my blood pressure rises with each "Oooone!!!"

There have long been suggestions that clothes made in China do use real fur as it is cheaper to rip for out of live rabbits than it is to manufacture fake fur. Another good reason to avoid, if possible, buying goods from China. Sorry to slightly hijack the thread!

I just wish she’d pronounce the ‘g’ when a word ends in one.

She’s not alone!
